Our physics community at Lancaster plays an important role in evolving what we know about the world around us. You could be learning about condensed matter, ultra-low temperatures, accelerators and high-energy particles, astrophysics, cosmology and space - areas in which we excel through world-leading research. Physics is the foundation of all other sciences which is why, as a physics graduate, you will be in great demand for a huge range of careers. You could be working on clean energy, space weather or systems engineering, modelling climate change, or continuing to develop what we know about physics through research.


Broaden your horizons
Enrich your university experience with a year spent overseas at one of our partner universities. Head out in Year 3 to start your adventure and immerse yourself in a different cultural and academic community. We’ll support you all the way!


What to expect
Our four-year BSc Hons Physics (Study Abroad) degree starts with a first year that is common across all our single-honours physics degrees as we teach the fundamentals to provide you with a solid foundation for Years 2 and 4. You may discover that your interests change throughout the year, and you have the flexibility to switch to any other of our degree schemes until the end of Year 1. Core topics include mechanics, quantum physics, thermodynamics, and electricity and magnetic fields. It’s so much more than lectures and workshops; you’ll spend time gaining hands on experience with experimental physics in our state-of-the-art labs.


As you progress into Years 2 and beyond, you will delve deeper into key physics concepts, such as relativity, particle physics, waves, optics and the properties of matter. You can choose modules tailored towards your interests, enabling you to explore the frontiers of physics research from our expert lecturers.


There are opportunities to undertake significant project work, focussing on a key topic in contemporary physics research, or working with an industry partner to solve a real-world problem.?
